Investor Information & Guidance
What is the Golden Visa Romania program?
A government residency-by-investment pathway that grants a 5-year renewable residence permit to non-EU investors who place at least €400,000 in eligible Romanian assets.
Who can apply?
Any non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizen aged 18+ with clean criminal records, legal source of funds, valid passport and health insurance. Spouses, dependent children and parents can be included.
What is the minimum investment and what qualifies?
Minimum €400,000, invested in one of the following and kept for at least 5 years:
• Real estate (apartments, villas, commercial)
• Government bonds (min. 5-year maturity)
• Investment funds authorized in Romania
• Shares of Romanian companies listed on BVB
Most clients choose real estate for long-term appreciation.
How long does it take?
Typical review and approvals take 3–6 months, depending on documentation and security checks. The residence permit issued is valid for 5 years and can be renewed while the investment is maintained.
How does the application process work (step by step)?
Eligibility check & KYC/AML (passport, clean criminal record, proof of legal funds).
Choose investment (many prefer real estate).
Open a bank account & prepare documents.
Submit residency application to the Romanian Immigration Office.
Upon approval in principle, you have up to 6 months to finalize the investment and file proof of ownership/transfer.
Receive a 5-year residence permit; maintain the investment for the full term
Do I need to live in Romania full-time?
No specific annual stay is highlighted in the draft; the key obligation is to maintain the qualifying investment for 5 years
